How I Make Thousands of Dollars from My Blog Without AdSense (and How You Can Too)

I’ve been blogging for a while now, and unlike most people, I don’t rely on AdSense or display ads. In fact, my blog only gets around 1,000 monthly visitors, and AdSense barely paid anything.

So I focused on something else: sponsorships.

Brands started reaching out for sponsored posts and link insertions. Some months are quiet, but just last week, I got three sponsorship deals in one day — without pitching. I’ve worked with brands like SafetyWing, fatjoe, Spreaker, Move Ahead Media, Podfan, and a few more.

How?

• I treated my blog like a business
• Focused on SEO + Domain Authority
• Made myself easy to contact
• Sent strategic cold emails (and followed up)
• Used platforms that actually connect bloggers with brands

It took some trial and error, but it’s now a reliable income stream — much more than what I ever made with ads.

Recently, I packaged everything I’ve learned into one complete system that can help other bloggers do the same. It’s not a get-rich-quick thing, but if you’re consistent and follow the right system, sponsorships can become a solid income source — even if your blog is small.

It’s called the Ultimate Blog Sponsorship Success Bundle, and it’s designed for bloggers who are ready to take their blog seriously and want a repeatable, sustainable way to earn money through sponsorships.

Inside the bundle, you’ll get:

• ✅ My secret list of companies that actually sponsor bloggers
• ✅ Contact info, signup links + websites for each company
• ✅ The exact email template I use to reach out
• ✅ Sponsorship-Ready Blog Checklist
• ✅ Blog SEO Checklist for Higher Domain Authority

• ✅ A 1:1 consultation call where I’ll review your blog, and you can ask me anything.
• ✅ Blog Sponsorship Blueprint course as a printable PDF to read anytime
